The potential for an inch of accumulating snow during the workday has prompted a Special Weather Statement from the National Weather Service.
The snow could complicate the evening commute, though it’s unclear how much would actually accumulate on roadways.
There’s also a danger of icy conditions later tonight as temperatures drop and any slushy or melted snow freezes, forecasters warn.
More, below, from NWS.
